PARIS (April 27, 2026) – Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, an innovative tactical video game inspired by one of the most beloved sci-fi franchises of all time, will immerse you in a tense, ever-changing roguelite-style fight for their Fleet’s survival when the game launches May 11 on PC. Publisher Dotemu (Absolum, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion) and developer Alt Shift (Crying Suns) in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences announced the launch date today, via an all-new gameplay trailer featuring a fresh look at the Cylons, Battlestar Galactica’s iconic sentient robot antagonists and the fearsome force striving to hunt you down in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes.
In Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, every decision matters as you manage your fleet in the shadow of relentless Cylon pursuit. Allocate your crew’s time wisely between critical repairs, internal conflicts, and exploration, where new resources, items, and survivors may tip the balance. But danger is never far—hidden Cylons and mounting crises threaten your fleet from within.
When the Cylons strike, survival becomes your only objective.
Inspired by the franchise’s core theme of enduring against impossible odds—and the iconic escape of the 33 episode—combat is built around a simple directive: resist until you can jump.
Command your squadrons in a hybrid of real-time and tactical combat, deploying fighters from your hangars to intercept threats and protect your flagship. Balance offensive maneuvers with defensive strategies as you withstand overwhelming assaults, buying precious time to execute your next jump to safety. Each destination offers new risks and rewards, forcing difficult choices based on your fleet’s most urgent needs.
No two runs are the same. As you adapt and survive, you’ll unlock new squadrons, weapons, and upgrades that expand your tactical options in future attempts.
Every decision shapes the fate of your fleet as you fight to stay one step ahead of annihilation.
With the Twelve Colonies lost, survival rests on your leadership. Guide what remains of humanity across the stars in a desperate search for hope aboard the Battlestar Galactica.
So say we all.
Developed by Alt Shift, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes builds on the success of their acclaimed tactical narrative game Crying Suns, bringing the universe to life through striking, detailed artwork.
